Hi there,

I'm doing an Android project (working in Eclipse) and need some help with views and other small things. Probably not very difficult for the pro's but I dont wanna write out the whole problem if there's no one here that knows Android well enough..

Thanks let me know

Ok great maybe you can help.
By following the guide on this webpage i've created a view with 3 tabs.
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html

So what I want to do next is to have a list of items on each tab, and then the item shall be clickable that will lead to another window.

Can you help me out? What do i need to do in the layout file? Or do I need to create more .xml files?

Thanks.

You can add the items to the Tab in your java class file

something like this.

public View createTabContent(String tag)
               {                                            
                    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Main_screen.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,new String[]{"item4","item5","item6"});
                    ls2.setAdapter(adapter); 
                    return ls2;
               }         
          });

Maybe you could help me out again as nothing is showing up in the tabs still....what have I done wrong or what do I have to do?

This is my class...

public class TabWidget extends TabActivity {
	
	ListView ls2;

	/** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
        
        mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("A-Z").setContent(R.id.textview1));
        mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("Cuisine").setContent(R.id.textview2));
        mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test2").setIndicator("Location").setContent(R.id.textview3));
        
        mTabHost.setCurrentTab(0);   
        createTabContent();
    }
    
    public View createTabContent(String tag)
    {
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, RESTAURANTS);
        ls2.setAdapter(adapter);
        return ls2;        
    }

One question....what is the paramater String tag you have in the createTabContent?

I guess i'm doing wrong in the setAdapter(adapter) ?

Thanks a million for your help please

http://www.anddev.org/how_to_create_tab_in_android-t1102.html

thats old though so you should make yourself aware of the changes in new Android versions
